New HAVEN, Conn, May 15-Last night
Stagg the Yale pitcher, received a tele-
gram asking whether he would enter the
professional ranks and telling him he
might join the New York club on his
own terms. Stage said to-day he had pre-

The Chicago Strikers Must Surrender to
Their Fellows or Employers

cago Bricklayers union has held aloof
from the local labor organizations and
even maintained independence of the
Bricklayers International union. A meet
ing of worKmen composing the building
trades council decided last night TO take
advantage of the lockout against the brick
layers to bring them TO terms. Resolu-
tons were adopted that if the bricklayers
did not join the trades council before
Tuesday the council would assist the In
ternational union to route the ultra indie
pendents. Apparently the Chicago brick
layers must now surrender either to their
employers or their fellow workmen.

present industrial system cannot but be- come more and more aggravated, is in consistent with the interests of mankind, with the principles of justice and true democracy, as they destroy those rights which the Declaration of Independence of the United States holds to be inalier- able in all men: The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
 These conditions shorten and impcril life by want and misery. They destroy liberty because the economical subiec- tion of the wage-workers to the owners of the means of production immediately leads to their political dependence upon the same sources, and finally frustrate the pursuit of happiness, which is never possible when life and personal liberty are constantly endangered.
 In order, therefore, to abolish these humiliating conditions, we strive to introduce the pettect system of cooper ative production-tha is, we demand that the workers obtain the undivided product of their toil.
 This being only feasible by securing to the workers the control of the means of production,
 We demand:
 That the land, the instruments of pro ductlon (machines, factories, etc.). the products of labor, become the common property of the whole people; and,
 That all production be organized CO., opcratively, and be carried on under the direction of the commonwealth; and also the cO-OperatiVe distribution of the pro ducts in accordance with the service rcn- dcrcd and with the just needs of the in- diyiduals.
 And to realize our demands, we strive ny all proper means to gain control of the political power.

THE SOCIALIST PLATFORM.
What the Radical Wing of the Labor
 Party Agitate For.

Labor being the self-evident creator of all wealth and civilization, it is but equitable that those who perform all labor and thus create all wealth should enjoy the product of their toll.
 But this is rendered impossible by the modern system of production, which. since the discovery of steam power and since the general introduction of ma chimes, is in all branches of industry carried with such gigantic means and appliances as but few are able to possess.
 The present industrial system is co operative in one respect oHig, which is: That not, as in former times, the indi- viddal works alone for his own account. but dozens, hundreds and thousands of men work together in shops, i'll mines, on huge farms and lands, cooperating ac- Cording to the most efficient divis, 1a of labor, while the fruits of this co-opera- tive labor are not reaped by the workers themselves, but are in a great measure appropriated by the owners of the means of production.
 This system. by gradually eNtinguish- ing the middle class of people, necessari- ly separates society into two classes: The class of the wage workers, and that of the great bosses.
 It brings forth as it's natural out growths:
 The planlessness and reckless rate of production.
 The waste of human and natural forces.
 The commercial and industrial crises.
 The constant uncertainty of the ma terial existence of the wage workers.
 The misery of the laboring masses.
 The accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few.
